Hey y'all. What type of coffee makers do they currently have in a studio room in VWL? Our countdown is down to 23 days! Thanks.

Seth

All DVC rooms should have the 12 cup Mr coffee drip style - flat bottom filters. Now and then a small 4 cup sneaks in from somewhere per reports but we have not gotten that in any studio.

Thank You All for the wonderful anniversary well wishes! 38 years - he still makes my heart flutter! We really enjoyed our Mimi Meet last night - so lovely to talk Disney with fellow Groupies

And that's all I've ever had in a studio! So weird. I didn't even know the studios had full sized coffee makers.

Agreed on both counts!

I forgot to mention I did try on Tue. to switch to VWL for Dec. No luck. I knew I wouldn't be able to get it, but it was worth a try. I wait listed, but I know it won't come through. Oh well. I'll plany for VWL for next year. If I don't use up all my points before then.

It has sounded like BCV has the small coffee maker in many, maybe most, of their rooms. The studios have the same (sometimes greater) occupancy as the 1BR's so really shouldn't be any different. And the coffee packs are the same size and meant for a larger coffee maker than a 4 cup. That must be a little strong - and I like stronger coffee! Somewhere in the 8 cup range is pretty good. I can say that CCV has the full size. PVB has the full size. VGF full size. VGC always had the full size but it's been 3 or so years since a studio stay there and they did remodel in that time. And I think that VWL did but my last studio stay there that is what it was named so it's been a little while.

Rofl Granny, I was going to say the same thing....although Jimmy your posts cracked me up!

We are HERE! The weather is perfection! Which we feel quite grateful for, since, last September we had to cancel due to the hurricane and December was brutally cold!

It was cold last December. I was hoping for weather like we had in December of 2016. Oh well. Glad you are having a picture perfect day

I can't remember which size we had but I want to say it was full size (in a studio). We brought our own coffee and filters and I used that almost every day, so I *think* my memory serves.

As we turn our thoughts towards planting flowers here at home, we are reminded of those enjoying the F&G Festival at WDW. Here's a little reminder of that from 2014. I call this one "The Odd Couple".

Wanted to mention that it seems like Blue card or White card - no one is going to enter unless they've ponied up some cash. All information about the member mingle is gone from the website and onsite reports are that they nixed the evening event.

???? That is awful. Why would they take that away when ey clearly put it out there.

???? That is awful. Why would they take that away when ey clearly put it out there.

My guess....... originally it was going to be a community hall. Following that line they were still planning on something that was for members and no charge since that was talked about when CCV was announced. The community hall was nixed because someone came up with the paid concierge idea to upcharge and have it be revenue generating vs a cost center. Then it finally sunk in that people weren't biting for 4 hours of toast and two happy hours of cheese and crackers and they needed to provide evening hours to hope to get the people to pay. So what you do? Quietly remove the free stuff with no announcement as if it was never there. At least that's how I picture it going down..

 

[TCRAIG]

Kat nailed it - why have free when you can charge $50...

 

[jimmytammy]

Thanks Diane for sharing those photos! Beautiful people and beautiful

I was thinking that that was going to be a DVC perk thing too. I asked at GP once and was told that but then after the changes took place recently I began to question of the CM knew what they were talking about

We’re having such a wonderful vacation! Our mini meet with Di, Dad, Tricia and Jerry was wonderful, albeit too short (my fault, because we stayed too long at Epcot).



I love vacation.

Granny, Daisy has more proportional pals this year!

Corinne...glad to hear that your vacation is going so well. And those are great photos!

I wonder why they don't let her hang out with Donald? I guess he's too busy hanging out with his buddies!
